The Bureaucrats' noticeboard is a place where items related to the Bureaucrats can be discussed and coordinated. Any user is welcome to leave a message or join the discussion here. Please start a new section for each topic.

This is not a forum for grievances. It is a specific noticeboard addressing Bureaucrat-related issues. If you want to know more about an action by a particular bureaucrat, you should first raise the matter with them on their talk page. Please stay on topic, remain civil, and remember to assume good faith. Take extraneous comments or threads to relevant talk pages.

If you are here to report that an RFA or an RFB is "overdue" or "expired", please wait at least 12 hours from the scheduled end time before making a post here about it. There are a fair number of active bureaucrats; and an eye is being kept on the time remaining on these discussions. Thank you for your patience.

Well, that was interesting. Kudos on the reaction time, which was impressive. Pretty sure WP:IAR applies to tool use in cases like this. In fact, that is kind of the purpose of IAR. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:35, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IMO it should be permissible to for any crat to unilaterally desysop an account they believe to be compromised, so long as they immediately notify ArbCom afterwards. No need to wait. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 20:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

With the removal of the unblockself permission back in 2018 (see

WP:LEVEL1 which works quite fast anyways (the whole Epbr123 thing happened within a couple of hours while it was night here).Regards SoWhy 21:36, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

With the nature of Wikipedia's permissions, and probably the exact issues that Maxim mentions above, I believe it will always be a good idea to remove sysop from a blocked compromised admin as soon as possible. I remember confirming this the last time I was blocked. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 21:46, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I haven't been doing much administrative work. As suggested by the message left by User:JJMC89 bot, I would like to voluntarily resign my administrative permissions. Sancho 03:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
